  • 1 copy of ilomilo Plus please... Is what I would say if Microsoft wasn't being a bunch of cunts. Now SALES are Windows 10 only?! Fuck off. There is nothing wrong with Windows 8.1. I can go on the store right now and find the game. There's no good reason why I shouldn't be able to get the sale price. This is nothing but bad PR for Microsoft. $4 off a game certainly isn't going to get me to upgrade to Windows 10, but it will get me to let the world know what a bunch of cunts Microsoft is being.
  • The sales are to celebrate Win 10 and it being on over 10 million devices so it's exclusive to Win 10 users why should the include the older OS
  • @1 i thought upgrading to windows 10 was free? Or was i just lucky?
  • Anyone know if these titles are UWP and as such potentially playable on Windows 10 phones?
  • US only though or did they go to all regions now?
  • i agree with #2 as far as #1 be a big boy and upgrade not like it is not a FREE UPGRADE.
  • As good as these prices are pretty much all games require a lot of play time to complete. I can't justify 20 hours for 200gs. Bring on the thumbs down but plenty of people here play for achievements and you may think its wrong but it doesn't affect your game and we are on an achievement site so you know
  • They're still full price in my Windows Store. I really hope it's not US only.
  • It is US only :(
  • @7: You defend your statement by saying "people here play for achievements" but are talking about Gamerscore. If you "play for achievements", it's that nice 20-or-so achievements you care about.
  • @7 why would someone downvote for that? I see it as a good reason. I'm also more likely to buy an X1 sale with 1K GS than the same game for the 360 if that would be on sale for the same or even less if it has less GS. My backlog is huge and the main problem is time to I rather increase my GS more as well with the time spent.
  • @10: That's a semantic argument. Most of us know our Gamerscore offhand but not our exact number of achievements unlocked. Your Gamerscore is what is displayed on your Xbox, on your Gamercard, and is CLEARLY what #7 was referring to. His using the term "achievements" interchangably isn't a point of contention.
  • @11 because people downvote for saying stuff like that, I have seen it time and time again. A heap of people see achievements as pointless so will downvote on that basis. @12 Yeah that is what I was getting at. As for knowing gamerscore ofhand mine is 346,995. On a side note if a game is awesome and a time sink I will put in the effort to try complete it. Test Drive unlimited comes to mind at 260 hours and all achievements unlocked.
  • @3&6 It's only free for a year. So it's more like a trial.
  • @4 answer is no. Its not gona be wp 10 its going to just become windows mobile when win 10 is ready for phones. Ms have pretty much given up with WP so it gets NO sales at all! Only gametroopers release /publish any WP games anymore.
  • You can change your region by going to Settings > Time and Language > Region and Language. Change it to US. Then you can buy the game. It will ask for your payment method (I personally chose PayPal) then it will ask for your address but you can make one up. Alternatively, you can use a PrePaid card instead.
  • @14 No. It is a free option for a year. After that, people that didn't upgrade have to pay. If you already upgrades, you are good to go. If I'm wrong, let me know.
  • @14 that's wrong, you have a year to upgrade for free if you have windows 7 or 8. If you don't upgrade in the first year, then you have to pay. How can you still possibly be still misinformed about this? It's been almost 5 months since windows 10 came out.
  • I wish I had Windows 10
  • @1 you know if you replace "bunch of cunts" with "fiesta" it still makes sense
  • @18 You also need to own an actual copy of the Windows OS. You can't use an OEM version to get the free upgrade. SO for those of you who have a pre-built PC you are out of luck unless it came with W10.
  • Using windows 10 provides alot of easy 200g's that are good to give your score a small little boost. Having 10 cent games is awesome.
  • @17 you are right @18 i agree. How can so many people still be ill informed about this shit... Win 10 and xbox one, there are an alarming number of ill informed people about these i somewhat automatically assume them to be trolls when in actuality they are just niave and to damn lazy to research, instead listening and believing ignorant haters who are fan boys of the devices that are microsofts compatition. Sad but true
  • @7 I was looking at the time investment as well. I'm however, buying some of the Windows games because I don't have any Win10 games. 11 cents isn't too bad so splurging is in the cards.
  • @16 Maybe I'm just not seeing the options you're using, but even having the Windows 10 OS on my PC, I don't think I'm able to change my location settings to snag these deals. Are you using a different device, or just a PC?
  • #21 I guess my four pre-built PC's (W7 laptop, W8 laptop, and 2 W8 desktops) with free W10 upgrades are just an illusion then?
  • @26 Must be, same with the 2 laptops that I own.
  • Shark Dash! lol... being able to beat in on WP, but on Windows, NOT ABLE TO LOG ON XBOX LIVE!
  • Well this article blew up quicker than Tumblr in a couple of minutes.
  • This sale went live a week ago, only a few days left! Late news means people will miss out :(
  • if u want a sale,u need a program that'll DESTROY your computer basically. don't do it,you save like 10$ but you lose a 3,000$ computer. windows 10 shuts down anti virus,deletes any "obseen" files without peromision and is crappy to navigate. tabs don't even work right,dont get windows 10 4 your own good.
  • @27 yep, my prebuilt laptop with windows 7 had a windows 10 upgrade too. Its like wizardry!
  • @30: No news means more people will miss out. Better late than never and all that.
  • I've just spent about $2 for a ton of games and 6+ movies(rentals).This sale is awesome! Jurassic World for 11 cents :)
  • Too bad it's US only
  • Holy down-votes Batman!
  • Finally i'll play Spartan Assault/Strike.
  • It's annoying that sales like this are U.S only.. Especially since the conversion rates are generally crap and people not in the U.S always pay more anyway. I get that M$ is an American company. But they constantly moan that they aren't selling as well as PS4 in other countries.. That's because they shaft people in other countries constantly. This is a great deal and I'd have definitely taken advantage of it. But alas I'm British so I just have to bend over and take it
  • For everyone complaining about this being us only... just change your store region, simples
  • really good deals if you live in the US like spartan strike for 10 cents is ridiculous as the game is awesome unfortunately i live in the UK :(
  • Freaking US only, thats a load of crap!
  • This is only like 2.00$ for all of them. I'm sold. For those who aren't in the US try doing it online
  • I'm in uk, if your on laptop type region in the search box next to start menu and click change to us then open store and they are on there just need to add a PayPal or summin and an address worked for me
  • When I would open up the store it would say .10$ but, when I would click on any game it would go back to full price
  • Are all of the Disney Fairies: Hidden Treasures episodes $0.10 or just episode 1? I'm not spending $20 on a $0.10 game.
